Responding to the former VP’s criticism of President Obama’s national security policy, including his decision to try accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in civilian court, the Florida Democrat lapsed into Web-speak.

“You know, on the internet there's an acronym that's used to apply to situations like this. It's called ‘STFU,’” Grayson said on MSNBC’s Hardball. “I don't think I can say that on the air, but I think you know what that means.” The letters are an acronym for “shut the f*** up.”

Cheney has been a vocal critic of the president’s policies, telling Fox News earlier this week that the extended decision-making process on Afghanistan “feeds into sort of the basic al Qaeda strategy” by fueling a sense of uncertainty on the future direction of U.S. involvement.

It is about time someone told Cheney to shut up. I refuse to even read or listen to his comments anymore. He has absolutely no credibility in my eyes.

Our Hero-Again! Keep telling it like it is Alan. Cheney needs to disappear. He and Bush did more than enough damage to our country. His day has gone-Thank God for all of us! Keep speaking the truth for you speak for so very many Alan Grayson!
